EGLY-OURIET Les Premices Magnum

1/3 Pinot Noir, 1/3 Chardonnay, 1/3 Meunier, Dosage 1g/l 

Les Prémices from EGLY-OURIET is produced from the blend of equal parts of the three Champagne grape varieties: Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir coming from a 3.5ha plot in Trigny. The age of the vines is over 40 years. 

This Champagne is vinified in steel tanks, without malolactic fermentation, only indigenous yeast (no yeast added). Like all wines from Francis Egly, it receives a minimal extra-brut dosage of 2g/l. The Champagne spends 36 months on the lees in the bottle and contains next to a base vinatge 50% reserve wines from previous years.

Les Prémices offers a nose that is both mineral and floral. We find this minerality in the mouth with a good length. This champagne, full of elegance and freshness, pairs perfectly with Saint-Jacques.
